Did anyone else see this? Of course, even if this worked, it would never happen. There are too many companies getting rich providing products and services to the dialysis world.

That's actually super cool that they can edit the genes to prevent rejection of the transplant. Looks like this study is still kind of new but will be neat to see how far they can take it.

Saw that Wednesday! what a nice gesture giving up a brain dead loved ones body for an experiment. Hopefully it will greatly increase the amount of transplants in the future. I hope she and her family will get the recognition they deserve.
